Australia: Rapper eats $465 seafood meal, runs away into sea

AN Australian man has been charged with theft and two counts of serious assault of a police officer after he ordered a AUD621 (US$465) seafood platter and ran out on the bill.

The 33-year-old Terry Peck faced court on the Gold Coast this week, where he claimed his decision to skip out on paying was because that lobster mornay was “overcooked” and that there was “oyster shell in the oyster”, the ABC reported.

That didn’t stop him from eating the whole platter and guzzling some beers. After downing two lobsters, 17 lobster shots and a baby octopus at the Omero Bros Restaurant, Peck ran down into the sea to avoid paying.
